petermcleland 96 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 You can have a pretty adventurous time in this magnificent scenery...Captions are a bit unecessary as it is just the best scenery of mountains that I have seen in a flight simulator:- The other shots can be seen here:- http://forum.mutleyshangar.com/index.php/topic/8555-mountain-scenery/ Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think you should check out FSX to see better mountain scenery as I think it can be beaten rather easy. You might have won some of these but not this one Pete! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be outdone, Aerofly, as Joachim just pointed out, has mountains that look a lot better. It's all down to data and FLIGHT has always been very light on data. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petermcleland 96 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Yes, those thumbnails are very good but your other pictures remind me of how you can make all mountains pointy by changing one number in the CFG file. I've done that too but most mountains have eroded tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that too but most mountains have eroded tops Pete the mountains I showed are Alps and Himalaya, they are all rather new mountains. The mesh used for those is spot on. Down to 15 meters. The mesh you show can't be more then 250 meters and interpolated. I like FLIGHT, always said so, but these are not the best mountains you seen in a simulator. I know what products we sell you got and many of those got better mesh. I am willing to compare the images I show with real images, you do the same and we'll decide.

Flight's mountains in Alaska have the same shape as those in Alaska Cinematic in FS9 and that is certainly not short of Data...You can't compare the European Alps with Alaska's much older and eroded mountains. There is one mountain in Alaska (its highest mountain) and it is called Mount McKinley or Denali...I will go there and take some shots and then compare them with the many photos of the real mountain.

Okay but it leaves the fact you sav you never saw better mountain scenery in a simulator. And I think that's just not a fact. Besides: That how it looks and that's how I remember mt McKinley. Some pretty pointy stuff there and the FLIGHT dataset just does not have that. I stand by my point that the mesh of FLIGHT is just not up to the latest standard. Even with rounded mountains data counts and the Alaska data set is just not big enough. If I look at the raw data it has a 355 meter mesh. Interpolated, not even raw data. To compare that to a rather low end FS9 product of some years ago... well you might win that. Tell me where your shots were taken from and we'll compare them and if that does not close the argument, show me how FLIGHT does the European alps or the Asian Himalaya (okay cheap shot but it could not refuse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
